Great product at great price
Jackery Explorer 2000 V2 Review:I'm referring to the equipment as portable power station / PPS / battery.PERFORMANCE:It arrived well packaged and in perfect condition, with 30% charge. Charging was very simple. There is a quiet charging mode, which takes 3x duration to full charge, but is also quieter. I thought full charge speed was a nice, quiet, pleasant white / no need for the quiet charge option. Quiet charging is unneeded for us, but a neat feature.I didn't realize when shopping that there was a light on the power station (dim, bright, SOS pattern options), so that's good. I created a Jackery account and paired the device with the app, which was all simple. I guess the best part of the app is being able to remotely see the % battery left. For what it's worth though, you can remotely turn on each segment of the power station (DC / USBs, AC / normal wall outlets, and the light) too.We unplugged the fridge from the wall and plugged it into the PPS. Treated the fridge as we normally do, opening when we needed to take something out / put something in, dispensing water. It lasted for 21.3 hours.The battery also has pass-through charging, meaning you can plug the PPS into the wall while power is on, and the fridge (or other equipment) will charge from the battery. If we're away from the house while the power comes back on, the fridge will switch to being powered from the wall (via the PPS) while the battery starts to recharge in preparation for the next power loss event. The charging speed during pass-through charging is roughly the same as charging while not powering anything (~1500W). We also tested pass-through charging by turning the breaker off (simulating power loss) while the fridge was plugged into the PPS and the PPS plugged into the wall. The transition from pass-through to battery was seamless. The fridge lights never even flickered through wall-power loss and through changing back to pass-through charging.Given this capability, I could see using it as a battery backup for our sump pump, with the sump pump always plugged into the PPS, which would always be plugged into the wall. _________(I haven't dont research to verify if there will be any effect on life of product if used that way.)__________ The alternative is the PPS sitting in on a shelf in the basement, waiting to either be manually deployed as a fridge backup, or in the rare case of outdoor camping use.WEIGHT:When I first picked it up, I was happy we went with Jackery, being the least heavy among competitors (EcoFlow, Anker, Bluetti). At 40 lbs, it's heavy for sure, but much more manageable for taking up/down the stairs than competitors' 50-60 lb devices of equal capacity. I was also able to hoist it onto the counter when needed.PRICE:Black Friday, 2024:We purchased from Amazon on Black Friday for $800 ($900, plus a $100 "coupon" that you just need to click the checkbox for). At the time, Jackery was selling for $900 (no coupon). I found the Jackery Explorer 2000 V2 to be comparable, but ~$100-200 lower cost than competitors mentioned above.Dec6, 2024:Amazon is back to selling for the regular listed price of $1500, with no sale. Jackery is back to the regular listed price of $1500, but with a $600 "coupon" automatically applied at checkout. This sale is the "Christmas Sale!" December 3-8. So Jackery's Black Friday sale wasn't exclusive to Black Friday.Dec12, 2024:Amazon: sale for $900Jackery: sale for $1100 (listed at $1500, with $400 coupon)LONGEVITY:I have only had this product for about a week, so I can not speak to the longevity of the product.Ver másVer menos
